Bread of Life

We had a wonderful All Saints Sunday! Thanks to one and all -- the kids with the saints banners, the choir sang their hearts out, and the wonder of five baptisms made the day complete.

And special thanks to our new Bread Bakers Guild who provided the loaves today. We are planning to have enough bread to serve at all of our 10 a.m. worship services from here on out. Thanks so much to the bread bakers!! You can be a part of the bread bakers by contacting Betty Sapir or the office.

And la ofrenda is already full. We will set up a second table for mementoes of your departed loved ones early this coming week. Stay tuned to this station for more details. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday,

A word on words...

It is my hope that this blog will be a place of dialogue and conversation. But please consider that you are a guest in someone's home (mine). Angry yelling may work for talk-radio, but it doesn't work here. Take your anger elsewhere. Present your point of view respectfully, and be open to others having a different point of view. Be respectful. Have a conversation. Take a deep breath before you hit the "submit" button.

And, I shouldn't have to spell this out, but I will:

1- Comments that are hateful toward any individual or groups will be removed. Period.

2- Comments that promote a commercial product will also be removed.

3- Keep it tasteful; use common sense and watch your language (this is a church blog).

4- I will not be drawn into arguments with anyone leaving an anonymous posting. You can leave an opinion anonymously, and if it is respectful, I will leave it stand. But do not expect a response from me. Conversation requires both parties introducing themselves. You know who I am, so have the courage of your convictions and stand by your comment with your name. Then we'll talk.

The name of this blog is Fiat Lux -- "Let There Be Light." So, please, shed light, not heat.
